## About
Morning, a cold kitchen, the day ahead: open this bottle and the air goes bright. Peppermint is the brisk, wakeful scent of the working hours, and this one absolutely sparkles.It is Mentha x piperita, organically produced in Hungary and steam-distilled from the leaves, bright, clear and sparkling. Peppermint behaves in a curious way, cooling or warming depending on its dilution: below 2% it is very cooling, while above 5% it turns warming. It is a daytime oil, not one for the evening.DetailsBotanical name: Mentha x piperitaPlant part: leaves, organically producedMethod: steam distillationOrigin: HungaryShelf life: about 3 to 4 years after openingBlends with: Black Pepper, all citrus oils, Eucalyptus species, Fennel, Ginger, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Rosemary, SpearmintHow to usePeppermint cools by constricting the capillaries and is an irritant, so use it in extremely low dilutions: 1% for massage or any other skin use. One or two drops is plenty for a bath; more is too cold. It may aggravate GERD-type heartburn, and it should not be used with gallbladder inflammation. Keep it out of reach of children, and store it in the dark, refrigerated if you can, decanting a half-empty bottle into a smaller, full one.A bright, clean bottle for the hours that need waking.
